A fabulous #naplic22 conference yesterday in Sheffield. Fantastic speakers and so good to catch up in person with #naplic friends old and new on Friday evening and Saturday. Here’s to #naplic23
A deep dive into the brain with an exploration of brain structure and function of children with #DevLangDis@salonikrishnan taking us on a fascinating journey through the human brain and findings from the BOLD study #NAPLIC22
Interested in reading about #DevLangDis or adding resources to a dynamic Padlet? Check out https://t.co/17OGs2UbhQ which includes links to research, information, websites @talkinged19 sketchnotes & more @SpeechPathAus#SPAConf please add any relevant resources, articles or links
Such an interesting talk by @botting_nikki about the Manchester Language Study and #DLD in young adults. 48% of young adults with DLD struggle with forms, compared to <5% typically developing young adults #DevLangDis#NAPLIC22
The notion of ‘boosting’ vocabulary seems too broad – it leaves unanswered questions about what, when and how, says Tes editor @jon_severs https://t.co/jQphSeSs5C
As more young people are diagnosed with #devlangdis and parents learn more about it, some realise they have the same condition which was missed or misdiagnosed in the past. Teacher colleagues please use this @RADLDcam bubble to help you spot #devlangdis in schools.
I have been following Tes coverage of paper by @Dominic_Wyse and @AliceJBradbury closely and am impressed by the range of view points they represent. Bottom line: phonics is necessary but not sufficient for the effective teaching of reading. Thread:
